What Our Riders Are Saying

Did a 2 hour trail ride as a total beginner and it was amazing. The desert mountain views were incredible and Jim was very respectful when helping ladies up on the horses. The horses themselves seemed very well cared for and his two dogs joined us as well. Definitely a great experience

What a wonderful experience, I can't even say enough words. Hospitality and kindness, adventure and peacefulness. Everything you would want out of a rustic getaway adventure, you'll find at UTrail. We spend our 13th wedding anniversary here and it was without a doubt one of the top best.

We took a 2 hour trail ride when my son and his wife and 4 grandchildren came to visit. We wanted to do something unique, and that it was! My twin granddaughters, who are 7, had a great time! The trailmaster paid special attention to them, making sure they were safe the entire time. He also made sure grandma was safe!! I would definitely recommend a trail ride with this group. No experience is necessary. (Older ladies might want to find a way to pad your butts!!😬)
